Hailing from Culver, Indiana, plankton is comprised of Matt
and Tina on vocals, bass, and guitar. Tony Tagliaferri (The
Splanchnic Ganglion) is currently drumming with the band.

Festivals, battles of the bands, private parties, and a free public performance on the Fulton County Court House (Indiana)
lawn sponsered by the Fulton County Public Library have all contributed to the band’s growth and progress.Plankton
has appeared on WNIT's "Open Studio,"a program on local public television focusing on talent in the station's viewing area.
They were even selected to participate in the Chicago Bodog Battle of the Bands! They have been working their butts off to
craft their originals into a crowd pleasing set of shock, amazement, and yes, even the occasional offense.

So...what do you call THAT?

Boyd Nutting, owner of the former Manifesto! in Niles, Michigan, described plankton as "Post-Punk / Art Rock."

Something that helps to set plankton’s music apart, Matt and Tina switch off on bass and guitar. They both played
drums in other bands. Adding to that, they write all the songs, and do all the recording themselves in their studio,
Splatcat Records, with Matt acting as the band's ample
engineer. Tina makes the band's t-shirts - dying and/or printing them by hand.

The plankton logo was designed by Max Kauffman. Max has also designed
for other bands including Umphrey's McGee.
